Gripping story with well-crafted characters

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I hate detective shows, I literally can't stand watching them. But strangely, there's something cutting edge about Fillmore that drew me to watch it. It could be a number of things.The story lines? They were amazing, especially how a case that seems so simple can have so many plot twists and turns, and so many shocking answers. Even as a teenager, I don't work out who is the culprit until they work it out! Maybe the characters? Of course the best characters are Fillmore and Ingrid, but there's other characters I love, too. Namely, of course, O'Farrell. You can't help but love him! Other factors are, of course, the brilliant voice actors, especially Tara Strong. I love the voices she makes! If I could, I'd definitely make more episodes. Unfortunately, it's down to Disney, and therefore, we will lose yet another great show.

Fillmore was modeled after the 70's detective series that many of us grew up with: Canon, Rockford Files, Charlie's Angels, etc. It does a wonderful job of bringing a fresh but mature young perspective to some moral issues faced by kids today, and its seventies feel makes it watchable by parents or any adult who appreciates animation. The characters are more complex than those in the vast majority of current animation; this is not a typical action or comedy at all, but rather a very enjoyable way to be reminded that doing the right thing is cool and empowering. Unfortunately Disney / ABC cancelled Fillmore after two series, though re-runs may still be seen on Saturday mornings. No DVDs of this important series have been released, but would be well recommended.

The show is about suave former-juvenile-delinquent-turned-safety-patrol-person Cornelius Fillmore (catchphrase: "Disco!") solving crimes for the X Middle School safety patrol with partner Ingrid Third (catchphrase: "Crackers"), who is smart and known for her photographic memory. Other main characters are Vallejo (the safety control commissioner, who always blows off steam at the dynamic duo [catchphrase: "FILLMOORRE!!!"]), Principal Folsom (the principal of X, who is an egotistical bitch [sorry, folks] who wants the safety patrol to solve a crime ASAP for her personal gain [catchphrase: some sentence involving the safety patrol to solve the crime ASAP for her personal gain]), and the other safety patrol people (Danny O' Farell [a nerd], Joseph Anza [the laid back one], and Karen Tehama [the forensics expert]). At first, I thought "This is the show they are canceling Teacher's Pet for?", but a couple of months later, I saw it and it was good (my favorite episodes are "To Mar a Stall", "Red Robins Don't Fly", "Ingrid Third: Public Enemy", "A Cold Day At X", and "A Forgotten Yesterday"). It's so good it makes up for Disney for taking TP off the air. I give this a 10 out of 10.

I have to say Disney struck gold with this show,and I'm finding that I really enjoy it very much. For a kids show it is very intellegent and intreauging characters like Fillmore, Ingrid Third and the principal of the school really intrest me.The downfall to it is the catchphrases for oneFillmore: Disqo Ingrid: CrackersThey say them to often also why do all the villains think they can run? It never works and could get kind of old. However it's really great family entertainment for all ages and I highly recomended it for anyone.PS The intro song rules.
